rock - if you are going to use this rod only on a jetty, then a glass or composite, such as the triflex, are your best bets. they can withstand the abuse and high stress from these inlets and are much more durable in the rocks. it's a given that the rod will fall down a couple times. graphite will not stand up unless you are very, very careful.
there are many, many blanks to suggest, but i always push customers to glass. 9'-9.5' is about ideal for all RI inlets. it's much easier to move around on the jetty w/ a 9' rod than a 10' rod.
spin/cast?
